Suncut ProDefense Non-Chemical UV Sunscreen Milk SPF50+ PA++++

Down to the last few drops with this 60mL bottle of Suncut ProDefense Non-Chemical UV Sunscreen Milk SPF50+ PA++++. It only took me 9 months to use up this bottle =.=! 

Decorte Honeydew Honey Cleansing Oil

I went through this 177mL/6oz. tube of Decorte Honeydew Honey Cleansing Oil in record time, because it was one of the most interesting, and most pleasant, cleansing oils I've used to date. 

Lachesca Oil Cleansing

Oops. Forgot to post this review of the Lachesca Oil Cleansing 200mL refill pouch.

 

This was an unscented cleansing oil with an interesting texture, more like a cleansing gel because it didn't feel at all oily. Instead, it had a "cushy" feel, sort of like FANCL Mild Cleansing Oil. However, it also oddly "dried up" when I massaged it onto my face for too long, and it didn't matter how generous the amount I used. Whereas a cleansing gel would have eventually melted into an oil after a lengthy massage, this stuff simply dried up! Super weird. I'd never had a cleansing oil drying up on me while I was cleaning my face with it. Thankfully, it rinsed clean and didn't leave my skin squeaky, so it was at least mild and wasn't stripping. I couldn't get over the drying up part though. Definitely wouldn't repurchase.  

Decorte Moisture Liposome Part II

So 10 years after trying a sample of Decorte Moisture Liposome, I finally got the 60mL/2fl oz. full size bottle. Here's a quick post to update my previous opinion...

Decorte Prime Latte Essential Softening Milk

Half way through this 150mL/5fl. oz. pump bottle of Decorte Prime Latte Essential Softening Milk and liking it very much.

Decorte Vita de Reve Herbal Vitalizing Lotion

Here's another toner I'm using as part of my morning routine along with other Decorte products, this 150mL/5fl. oz. bottle of Decorte Vita de Reve Herbal Vitalizing Lotion.

Decorte AQ Absolute Softening Emulsion

Here's the 14mL/0.48fl. oz. sample of Decorte AQ Absolute Softening Emulsion that was also part of the Decorte Supreme Collection GWP, along with the Lotion.

Decorte AQ Absolute Hydrating Lotion

So it's almost August. Just like that. I'd thought that when my little boys are out of school and in summer camps, I'll have more time to catch up with, you know, everything. But nope. Turns out I'm busier now than when they both were in school full time =.= Which is to say I've been neglecting this blog :( I'm not happy about it because stuff just piles up in my draft folder and in my photo library. At the same time, I'm unwilling to give up and quit. This blog is pretty much my skincare diary, and even if I'm falling behind on posting and pictures, I'm still using skincare. Every damn day. And I have opinions about what I'm using. Lots of it, which I still note down in the drafts. Gah.

Anyway, back to digging myself out of this hole, one post at a time. And here's a post I found at the bottom of my draft folder that I'd forgotten about, having finished this 14mL/0.47fl. oz. sample bottle of Decorte AQ Absolute Hydrating Lotion a couple of months ago. This was part of the Decorte Supreme Collection GWP along with the Emulsion, which I also dug out of the draft folder and will post next.

Decorte Clean & Pure Hydrating Rich Milk Cleanser

Been using this 200mL/6.9fl. oz. pump bottle of Decorte Clean & Pure Hydrating Rich Milk Cleanser for the past month and like it a lot! It was part of the Clean & Pure Facial Cleansing Essentials set that I picked up a couple of years ago.

Decorte Prime Latte Essential Concentrate Cream

I had two 39mL/1.4oz. full size jars of Decorte Prime Latte Essential Concentrate Cream from two different orders, and one tiny 5mL/0.21fl. oz. jar from a GWP with a Makeup Coffret II order. Ended up giving one full size jar to my mum and kept one to use myself. 

Decorte 24/7 Eye Cream

Just finished this tiny 1.9mL/0.07oz. tube of Decorte 24/7 Eye Cream as well. I'd been using it in the morning, as part of my daytime routine.

Suncut UV Mild Care Milky Gel SPF50+ PA++++

Just finished with this 80g bottle of Suncut UV Mild Care Milky Gel SPF50+ PA++++ as well. I've been using this sunscreen on my little ones as well, but only on their Splash Days at school because it's waterproof (during the summer, they get to mess around with water and kiddie pools for an hour outside in the morning, twice a week). 

Sekkisei Treatment Cleansing Oil

For many years now (a decade, actually, since 2012!), Sekkisei USA has been trying--and failing--to tempt me to try their products. Why? Because in 2011, I did try their famous Lotion and Emulsion and just plain hated them. They were just sticky and icky, and way too strongly scented. 

But that was when hubby and I were still in Yokohama where the weather itself got sticky and icky at certain times of the year. That, and I was also ten years younger with skin that wasn't as dry as it is now. Now that we're living in a much drier climate and my skin is also dry all the time, I'm ready to try Sekkisei products again. And so when they ran a generous promotion a couple of months back, I placed an order for a couple things (the Cream and Essence, will get to them later) and got a bunch of freebies to try.

First up is this tiny 9mL/0.3fl. oz. bottle of Treatment Cleansing Oil from the Winter Skincare Mini Set GWP. Not sure why it's called Treatment Cleansing Oil, because I don't know what it's treating, but ok whatever.

Winter Skincare Mini Set GWP

Decorte Liposome Moisture Liposome Mask

Here's another Decorte mask, the Liposome Moisture Liposome Mask I received from an order last December.

Decorte Prime Latte Mask

Squeezing in a quick post for this Decorte Prime Latte Mask, which I liked a lot and will definitely repurchase. This was part of a GWP I received when I purchased the Makeup Coffret II in the winter of 2019.
